Google Fiber[edit]
In 2016, the hiring of Stricker to lead policy and communications at Google Fiber, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., fueled speculation[10] that Alphabet would accelerate its plans to bring high speed internet connectivity more broadly across the United States.[11] Conversely, his departure from Google Fiber was described as "the latest blow for the Alphabet subsidiary"[12] and prompted speculation[from whom?] that the unit is "in peril… perhaps calling its future into question."[13]
Twitter[edit]
Prior to Alphabet, Stricker served as the head of Communications and Public Policy at Twitter.[14] While at Twitter, Stricker accepted the Radio Television Digital News Association's First Amendment Award on behalf of Twitter[15] and made public remarks about free speech and censorship.[16] Vanity Fair quoted Stricker advocating for Twitter to be more transparent about the stagnant user growth. He was fired from the company when that effort wasn't endorsed by the rest of Twitter's executive leadership.[17] Later, he was represented by Alejandro Mayorkas[18] in a securities lawsuit against Twitter.[19][non-primary source needed][relevant? ]

Before Twitter, Stricker was Director of Global Communications & Public Affairs at Google, Inc..[20] He later returned to Google's Search team in a product role as the head of search ecosystem, where his work included helping people find useful information related to the 2020 US elections and COVID-19.[21]
Stricker was part of a cohort of former Google policy and communications executives who went on to lead similar functions at technology companies across Silicon Valley.[22]

It appears as if Alphabet Inc. is taking their initiative on high speed internet, Google Fiber, much more serious as of late. At least that appears to be the case after the company hired back a former employee, Gabriel Stricker, to head up a new role as head of Google Fiber’s policy and communications.
